What Happened
The water pump in your diesel engine is a crucial part that helps keep your engine running smoothly. In some 2013-2017 RAM 2500, 3500, and 4500/5500 vehicles, this pump might not have a small hole that's supposed to let air out, causing it to leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If the water pump starts leaking, it could cause an engine compartment fire, which could spread and cause serious damage or even harm you or others nearby.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty water pump with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, and it's completely free – no cost to you.
